SOME OF THE LAST PUBLIC OPINIONS
OF A GREAT Man.


Neu lork Correspondence Clereiand
Leader.
One has most excellent oppor-
tunity to study man" as represent
ed by the average New Workers.
Among the wealthy classes, very
many Of them have the waxi skin
dropsical flesh, and "pulTed eyes"
that are indicative of serious kid
ney affection. "Bright's disease" is
plainly written on their faces. Since
General I.ogan's death the subject
of rheumatism is being discussed by
the medical profession.
Every intelligent person, with any
knowledge of the human system, is
well aware that if the kidneys are in
good condition all unnecessary ma
terial is regularly carried off by them.
If not, various acids such as uric
acid, one of the chief causes Of
rheumatism, are left in excess, Great
ing deposits that cause all sorts of
chronic organic diseases. 1t would
seem, therefore, that rheumatism,
like dropsy, is not Il disease, but the
result of a disease, and il is safe to
say that if the stomach and kidneys
are Kept in healthful condition
there will be no deaths from rheu-
matism.
General Logan WAS well aware
that his disease WAS of the kidneys,
and once expressed himself in indig-
nant terms at the folly of doctors
treating him for rheumatism, when
it was the kidneys that caused his
attacks. The high living and the
eXcesscs in all things, prevalent
among wealthy men in large cities,
especially in New York, is the chief
cause for Bright's disease, and the
aristocratic trouble known as rheu-
matism, even as insufficient and

The theory is now broached that

down was chestnut.
The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1887-04-23

The above article, which we rc-
produce because of its general inter
est, is very significant. The public
believes that rheumatism is an effect
Of diseased blood, this disease being
caused by uric acid or kidney
poison. Enough ofthis is developed
daily to kill several men, and if it
is not removed by the kidneys as
fast as formed, it gradually ruins
the health.
This fact is scientific demonstra-
ton.
If doctors do not admit it, it is
probably because they do not wish
to attract attention to the menace
deranged kidneys offers to the gener-
al health, since they have no author
lied specific for these organs.
General Logan knew what his
real trouble was, and he recognized
the nonsense of treating the effects
the real seat of the disease was
the kidneys. Senator Sittig, of Hi
nois, whose vote elected Logan SEN
ator after four months of balloting,
tells us that Logan often complained
to him of great distress in his kid
neys. Disease of the kidneys always
produces rheumatism, and besides
that, it caused paralysis, apoplexy,
impotency, stomach and blood dis
orders, brain troubles, female com
plants and countless other diseases
which would almost never develop
if the blood was kept free of uric
acid or kidney poison.
These facts the public recognizes
even though medical gentlemen for
very evident reasons, will not pub
licly acknowledge them, lest, per-
chance, some proprietary medicine,
like Warmers safe cure, which is
sold by all dealers and is now adj
mitted to be the only scientigc spe-
ciiic, will get the benefit.
Fie on such bigotryl 1t has been
authoritively stated time and again,
that there can be no real sound
health if there is any false action of
the kidneys. Insurance companies
refuse millions of risks on this
ground alone, hence it is that there
is such universal popularity given
to the great preparation named "A
popularity that is based upon intrin-
sic merit.
Too much dependence upon pro-
fessional advice, especially in mat
ters over which medical men admit
they have no power, too often results
very disastrously, but of what use to
the victim is experience gained by
fatal disaster.
How much better it is to be guild
ed by an unprejudiced public opin-
ion in such matters.
Had Logan been 50 guild ed, he
might have been spared many years.

Ky. say. he was, for many years, badly
afflicted with Phthisic, also Diabetes. the
pains were almost uncomfortable and
would sometimes almost throw him into
convulsions. He tried Electric Bitters
and got relief from first bottle and after
taking six bottles, was entirely cured,
and had gained in flesh eighteen pounds.

But for the timely support OF a
chair, Gordon must have fallen.
His face became as white as marble,
and Il buzzing sound rang in his
ears. lie came the nearest to faint
ing Of any time during his life. The
suffering he had endured when
wounded half to death, he had been
left all night upon the battlefield,
was nothing compared to the soul
anguish of those next few moments.
When he looked again, the two fig
urcs had gone.
Gordon Fleming was by nature
both proud and inclined to be suspi-
cious, which might account for his
having remained bachelor for so
long period. The only explana-
ton that ever came to him was, that
this man had been former lover of
Jessie Kerr's. There had probably
been some misunderstanding be-
tween them. Now all was made
clear, and he was in the way. Jcs-
sic had told him she had no living
relatives saving her aunt, yet this
man seemed to be very deaI to her.
His proud soul arose in its full
strength. He would leave them to
their happiness. What mattered it,
anyway? Only one more heart adj
ded to her victims. He called up
all his resolution, and although
trembling with excitement, looked
up calmly when the servant entered
to say she could not find her young
mistress.
Five minutes later Gordon Flem-
ing walked home, with the cold, pit
iless stars peeping out one by one
him, as the night drew on apace.
He left town on the early train. and
in a week sailed for Europe, a wan
dcrer in the world.
